There are more advanced backup/restore options in PLUGIN>Software management>Advanced options. Thanks, great information which I did not know! This allowed me to save the relevant backup file to a share & then transfer it to a backup location where I keep such things (A networked shared USB). I...

Krusty

I shall see if these random lockups still happen as the clean install may have reduced or eliminated them. I honestly just accepted it as normal & it related to nothing in particular. Maybe I'm too fast as I do tend to speed ahead & rarely wait assuming that keystrokes & functions are bu...

Krusty

My current problem though is restoring the network mounts but I posted this as a new post! That topic of yours has disappeared. Sorry I should have modified this post. I did explain the issue in a post but then resolved it so I went back & deleted the other post. My problem was in the mounts sh...

Krusty

I've learned to live with this over the years though! You shouldn't have to. Can you recall exactly what you were doing when this happened? I literally can't remember when I last had to hard reboot any of my T/U/V series during normal operation. Well so far in my mammoth attempt to restore settings...

Krusty

No, I added the ones that are used to favorites. I'm sure that others have found that one badly timed button click has unwanted results! This was the reason that number 1 in favorites loaded N/A. Also in my laborious restore the thing typically has frozen around five times requiring the long power o...

Krusty

On a brief look it's somewhat surprising, no internal HDD, no front USB, the external power supply is better of course & the improved speed but in some ways it appears to be a downgrade rather than an upgrade. Whilst the T3 is still doing okay I shall think about it. The internal Micro SD card c...

Krusty

I really appreciate the help given & I'm mostly back in action albeit not yet with the NAS share folders, but I will sort that later. I have the EPG back as previously, I cull the unused (Radio & Shopping, etc) channels & in Sydney this allows you to compress the number of lines to 19 or...

Krusty

Yes, true! Five years is a long time ago. The HD did have a current backup but for reasons unknown it was gone after the firmware update. One issue I'm presently having is creating favorite channels, I tag those required & the EPG then is empty with entry 1 having N/A which cannot be removed. I ...

Krusty

Was there anything in /hdd/backup/beyonwiz/v1/? In that location is enigmasettingsbackup.tar.gz but dated yesterday as I did a progressive backup. The first thing I did after the restore was to go to restore & there was no restore file. The file is aptly named "Enigma" as there is abso...

Krusty

All you need to do is go into MENU->Setup->Software manager->Create backup Thanks but as I said the machine whilst it worked in most functions failed after a power outage in the early hours. Often these machine have had issues whereby the network mounts failed & needed to be remounted. When I we...

Krusty

Much appreciated, many thanks. I did find it using Google but the firmware is most confusing as in many screens it clearly says T2, in fact in most screens. I appreciate they are likely the same. Backups are also pointless since they get wiped when firmware is updated. I have NEVER found a way to st...

Krusty

Your firmware link for the T3 is dead!http://beyonwiz.com.au/firmware/t3/beyo ... 17_usb.zip so where can I get the firmware?

Krusty

Hi all, This seems to be an old topic but recently over the past month many of the AVI (DivX) files that I acquire have suddenly become an issue in that they play audio but the video does not work! I haven't yet dissected the video/audio details but for some years most files have always been okay es...

Krusty

Thanks Peter,

Yes I have read reports on Mark for ages on this forum & they are always very complementary! Thanks for the assurance!

Krusty

Okay I did get in touch with Mark & he is totally organised. He provided a courier link which will cost just under $22 each way. The repair cost which I understand is probably around $50 is very reasonable. I have boxed the T3 & organised a courier who will pick it up today (Friday). Mark al...

Krusty

I phoned Nasa yesterday & left a message, 24 hours later no response. I also emailed Mark (Warkus) yesterday & just got a reply but it may depend on freight costs & repair costs. Maybe we should just bin the T3 which is a great pity. The T2 is too basic for our needs so it needs to be th...

Krusty

Yep --- sorry I'm confusing the P2 with the T2, I will check it out but have always loved the T3 until it died. Hopefully it is fixable. I will look again at T4 listings but the site said nil in stock? Just used your link for the T4 & you are correct, all are in stock!!! The "shop" lin...

Krusty

I looked there initially & only T2s are available which are something like 12 years (or more) older, no T4s available & no mention of T3s. As well ALL are refurbished (in other words used or second hand).

Krusty

Hi all, I've not been to the forum for quite a while but what prompted me was the death of our beloved T3, (locked on Beyonwiz-T3 on boot) which I understand is a failed power supply! Some research shows two likely repairers but being in Sydney the easier one to try is Nasa but I only get an answeri...

Krusty

Thanks netmask Just as I saw it, but considering the amount of discussion I thought that I was missing the whole point. It's good to know you find autotimers reliable as we have. The remote access whilst away or overseas is something we can live without as like you only a handful of programmes are a...

Krusty

Obviously I’m missing something but having never tried IceTV can someone explain why I need it, especially since it’s a paid service? :? Obviously it must offer far more than Auto Timers do, having used these with complete success for many months on the T3 these do everything we need to perfection. ...

Krusty

Yes, I too get the pauses whilst skipping. I agree with blonk it never used too pause, but this happened after an update. Regards Lance Same here & I also can confirm it didn't do this before, probably been happening for maybe two months. I learned to live with it & just skip again & it...

Krusty

I'm not sure if this problem existed before the later firmware updates? I don't recall seeing this behaviour before but have noticed it twice recently. I don't watch many movies with subtitles so it may well have always been there. The problem is that when SRT subtitle files are used the text mostly...

Krusty

I just finished upgrading with the emailed link and get the new email saying the 1st link was wrong! :evil: Yep, same here, downloaded the email link, upgraded only to find the wrong link had been posted (July firmware). :evil: Now downloading the correct link from the forum, (it's painfully slow),...

Krusty

These timeouts (and the appearance of the messages) really should be configurable. Picking an arbitrary value is never going to please everyone. .... I suggest adding an option to specify the timeout under the enable option, when it's turned on. Enhancement Request #306 - Add user control of timeou...

Krusty

I would have said the start recording popup was there for a couple of seconds but yes it could be a little longer, say 5. And I have no problem with resuming on media or recordings whether internal or on a NAS. Strange, I have had at least three different files lately that I have tried several time...

Krusty

Not been here for some time having been OS & had some family issues on return, (death of mum), so this may have been addressed or updated in our time away? :?: Latest firmware has not changed these snags. Both of these have been mentioned before but as far as I'm aware no changes relating to eit...

Krusty

Very interesting ---- thanks!!!

Krusty

Has anyone else noticed that when media files (AVI, MP4, MKV, Etc.) are stopped, then later resumed that despite selecting resume the file starts from the beginning ? I am assuming this isn't a problem as such but more related to the encoding of the file. It's bloody annoying especially when you ma...

Krusty

I bought my first Beyonwiz five years ago the DP-P2 but the PSU failed on Tuesday 24th, I wouldn't write off the DP-P2 just yet! I had a failed power supply a few months back & it turned out to be a diode, easily identified (short circuit), easily sourced for around 40 cents (post free for 5 fr...

Krusty

Thanks McQuade & thanks Peter. Missed the delete after "X" days, I will alter this!!!

Krusty

Not really an issue but the popup that precedes a recording about to start is just so brief it's generally not possible to read or missed if you glance away. It's not important but I was curious if any setting can alter this notification. It seems that it was meant to be around three (3) seconds on ...

Krusty

Again many thanks Peter, I'm only accustomed to Windows (or DOS) so it's all new to me but your in depth explanation is very enlightening & I now have a far better understanding of the structure. Your considerable time & efforts are much appreciated!

Krusty

Thanks Peter! Thanks Gully!

Krusty

Yes, confusing but I probably compounded it by attempting to simplify it. The structure is: root or / (347MB 78% available) - hdd (2792GB 99% available) contains timeshift (plus any recorded programmes). - mnt ( see below ). - media ( see below ). mnt (64kB 100% available) - hdd (2792GB 99% availab...

Peter, Sorry my mistake Bookmarks not Favourites ! here is the sequence.

Krusty

Sorry Peter, I was going from memory.

I will replicate this & be more specific!

Krusty

Having tried just about every conceivable option & deleting media content in the process I have a question regarding what is see when viewing Media . Is it possible to have easy menu titles so that Network & Hard drive are seen at one level. The best I have been able to achieve was Hard driv...

Krusty

This may have been mentioned but I found no reference to it? In a screen where you are in "favourites" if you delete one (of several) the blue button text changes from "Delete" to "Add " when pressing the blue button does in fact delete the highlighted entry! :?

Krusty

How do you get rid of the stupid soccer theme? What idiot thought that was a good idea? That was Me! I'm no fan of soccer or sports for that matter but personally I think the soccer ball is just so much better than the previous spinner which was almost invisible on most backgrounds. Anyway I don't ...

Krusty

Okay thanks, because of many changes over time backups have been in several locations. I will now ensure they are in two locations (Hard drive & USB - archived to PC for security). Restoring from various sources may though prove to be a challenge! :wink: On the subject of backups , is there any ...

Krusty

in the process LOSE all settings & backups I don't see a reason why they should be lost when you do a USB firmware upgrade. Exactly, nor do I. I have religiously done backups & last time I looked using "advanced" under plugin several backups were available for restore! I have to a...

Krusty

Okay here is my latest "tale of woe"!!! :x All updates current till the latest which was made available today (last update on the 8th of June). Decided to check for the newest updates having seen references on the forum of another. A check showed 474 updates which made me rather sceptical ...

Krusty

It's fixed. In beta. I wanted to see a release in time for the weekend. Some beta testers want a whole week of testing before letting anyone else have it. I disagree. I think the fixes should go out ASAP. Funnily enough I haven't had this issue since the updates of last weekend (the 7th or 8th June...

Krusty

The Text option is definitely an improvement but not sure about the Graphics one! :? What are the issues with the graphics mode and what are your suggestions? Not really important just an observation & maybe I'm confusing things? I'm referring only to the default EPG colours. It's just that the...

Thanks Peter for the information.

Krusty

Also can the moderators suggest to the powers that be that a change log be available since the log file does NOT work. Everyone but those in the know are totally in the dark as to what changes are/were made. The Bewonwiz web site would seem to be the appropriate place but the web site is almost tot...

Krusty

Today, a skin update was pushed out for the T3 and it looks to have vastly improved the look of the EPG in particular. The gradient shaded cells give the EPG a bit more of a polished look. However this is only in graphics mode. I have previously been using text mode since it looked a lot better tha...
